Blockchain Interoperability Platform

ACES Listeners

ACES Listeners provide a way for all the different blockchain transaction events
to be easily consumed via a common REST-ful API. The API allows consumers to create
subscriptions and receive blockchain events in real-time using Webhook callbacks.

ACES Services

ACES Services create and execute Service Contracts that can be programmed
to perform actions such as value transfers, uploading files to storage blockchains,
creating smart contracts, executing code on blockchain-based
computing platforms, or interacting with IoT hardware.

ACES Marketplace Console

The ACES Marketplace Console is a consumer dashboard for searching and executing
service contracts listed on the Marketplace.
ACES Service providers can list their service nodes using the Marketplace API.

Platform Features

Open Source

Everything on the ACES platform is open source and uses a permissive free software license (MIT).

REST-ful APIs

The ACES platform uses simple REST-ful APIs for easy integration.

Decentralized

A marketplace platform that allows users to consume blockchain services offered by a
decentralized collection of service providers.

Service Composition

Use functional composition to chain ACES Services together.

Incentivized

The ACES platform provides an open fee model that allows service providers
to compete in a free market.

Programming Languages

Built using light-weight microservices that are easy for providers
to implement in different programming languages and frameworks.

ACES Marketplace Console

The ACES Marketplace Console provides a simple web interface for tapping into available
ACES Services listed on the public marketplace directory. An integrated payment wallet allows
service contracts to be executed and payed for directly though the Marketplace Console.

"The future will be driven by many thousands of product specific blockchains. It is going to be
exceedingly frustrating to consumers if we don’t do something about disconnected blockchains soon,
because the technologies are coming around the corner at blazing speeds."

What is the real world use case for ACES? The real world use case may not have arrived quite yet, but it’s fast approaching.

This release is an expansion and improvement to our existing listener protocol, providing high
quality features that will support a robust blockchain service ecosystem. This release also includes
deployment of stake-based listeners for ARK and Ethereum, which you can begin using immediately to
build services. We will be deploying two additional listeners for Bitcoin and Litecoin alongside
our release of services in the coming weeks.

Development of the ARK and Bitcoin Listeners Completed

The listener is the component that plugs into a blockchain (such as Bitcoin) and provides
standardized API access for ARK services to receive data from a blockchain. The listener stands
on its own, and does not necessarily need to be run by the same person running a service.
